The heater hose bracket bolts? Did you get the smaller one loose?
Turning counterclockwise?

Hmm, nothing a little WD40 and a breaker bar couldn't get. Definately not worth $800...

What a fcuked up thing to say, I hope you're joking. If he would have bought your used blower he'd still have trouble taking his apart.

Spending two hours on a bolt just absolutely killed my drive.

Yeah, the point of getting the X-Charger was to save money...and it failed to do that for me. But the case is just mine. It kinda sucks that out of the 60+ X-Chargers installed....mine is the only one that gets ****ed.

I'm sure the Ford Dealership will do a good job on it. It's funny, there are 3 local Ford dealerships near me...only one would touch it.

Why was Dave against the dealer doing it?

He said dealerships are too often used to looking at bare stock vehicles and aren't used to aftermarket parts. While racing shops are used to it and would have less trouble.

You need to change the title of the thread to "Installation Failure". You make it sound like the blower failed.
